Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behavior. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem? Can we avoid them even if we try? In Mirror, Mirror, Simon Blackburn, the author of such best-selling philosophy books as Think, Being Good, and Lust, says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, literature, history, and popular culture, Blackburn offers an enlightening and entertaining exploration of self-love, from the myth of Narcissus and the Christian story of the Fall to today's self-esteem industry.
A sparkling mixture of learning, humor, and style, Mirror, Mirror examines what great thinkers have said about self-love--from Aristotle, Cicero, and Erasmus to Rousseau, Adam Smith, Kant, and Iris Murdoch. It considers today's "me"-related obsessions, such as the "selfie," plastic surgery, and cosmetic enhancements, and reflects on connected phenomena such as the fatal commodification of social life and the tragic overconfidence of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Ultimately, Mirror, Mirror shows why self-regard is a necessary and healthy part of life. But it also suggests that we have lost the ability to distinguish--let alone strike a balance--between good and bad forms of self-concern.
Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He was Edna J. Doury Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, and from 1969 to 1990 was a Fellow and Tutor at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is the author of The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy and the best-selling Think and Being Good, among other books.
看到作者的自序中写到当他看到写有“你值得拥有”的广告词时,我就决定绝不会在末尾写值得一看 我们在日常生活中有时候会听到自我二字,但什么是自我,我们见仁见智,不同的人有不同的想法,正如书中所说,但是以自开头的词语大都离不开自己的态度,有人认为关注自我会带来错觉...
評分本书作者的身份是“英国哲学家、学者、评论家”,所以本书的语音可能骗学术一点。很多地方都有着学术研究的风格在,所以想要一口气读完有点吃力。很多地方有非常严谨的印证和论证,倒是比较符合时下的严谨治学之风。所以首先弄懂了这一点才能够准确定位,不然你可能读着读着觉...

評分这本书的封面很是喜欢,排版不错,颜色搭配不错,而内页的排版也挺好,上下左右边距不浪费,每页都有章节提示,书着书能参考着章节重点。 这本书在导言中就讲到了“自我”的精髓,其实,自我不等于自大,自夸等,真正的自我,是能够清楚的认识到自己。现在很多人读《圣经》,可...
評分1. 这本书的名字虽然起的很像畅销小说,但读完之后发现它其实挺正经的,甚至有点读教科书的感觉。前半本书的内容可以读一下,到后半部分有太多关于宗教的东西,读不太出所以然来。 我以为这本书会教人要保持自我,但它是在教人警惕对他人他事漠不关心的自我,作者称其为自大。...
